Really?? Most of yours have grown slow?? I got mine 6 months ago at 3'' not they are 9'' and 10''! What worked for me was lots of blood worms, every once in a while go out back and get some worms to feed him. Pellets from what ive seen dont make them grow that fast. Protein diet all the way!!! lol
 
Sounds good. And I agree:

Protein to pack some girth and length on them:

Frozen Beefheart, Carnivore Cuisine, Bloodworms, Silverside, Market shrimp and Tilapia. Earthworms,- the meatier the better.

Carnivore pellets are good and a complete diet too but not as good as the beefheart and such to grow them out.
 
More water changes. And more food :) I reccomend hikari sinking carnivore pellets. I grew a Senegal from 4-11" in a year on that diet. I have a Delhezi that seems to be a rather slow grower so far though :( He gets tons of food and variety and my water is always perfect. He might just be growing and im not seeing it as I hand feed him daily.
 
You are allowed to feed live vertebrates in the UK. You are not however allowed to make it a public spectacle, i.e. doing it in public, putting it on YouTube, whatever. And you are not allowed to cause unnecessary pain to the animal, otherwise its classed as cruelty.
